ROCBIZCOUNCIL2007-08-22-1187822536.jpgNew York State's comptroller says the glass is half-full when it comes to Rochester's economic outlook. Thomas DiNapoli was the guest of the Rochester Business Council today.


The council says there is momentum in the county's employment numbers. Right now, there are 380,000 jobs in Monroe County. In 1980, there were 330,000 jobs. DiNapoli says Rochester's fertile ground for starting up a company and that's helped offset setbacks.


"You've had some of the big corporate players that have had to go through downsizing for lots of reasons we're all familiar with, you're still seeing because of the investment in higher education here, an entrepreneurial spirit, an interest in smaller companies and being established and starting up here and taking hold," says DiNapoli.
